It seems that they saw an incomplete HUD. No mention on health/armor or money. Also, it's conflicting about what they are telling about the map size and what other previews, so far, have been saying on it.

Dammit. People, get your facts straight. We hear a different take on this every fucking article. Is this as big as San Andreas or not? Because in the Kikizo article an actual R* representative said that IV's LC being the same size as San Andreas would be retarded, it's just that they're on a similar scale. Scale meaning in terms of thought, innovation, and things to do. Scale != Size!

Same.
They better include Rhino's, Unique Jumps and Rampages. I'd love to beat some gang members up with a bat to enjoy the physics (if they'll be in, of course). And even without that, killing people in a given amount of time with unlimited ammo has always been cool. And so are Jumps and Rhino's.

But what's with the size of IV? Bigger than SA, smaller than SA, similar to SA, we're gonna need some confirmation for this.

However, there are also some great things mentioned in this preview, like 4 different ways to jack vehicles and this new radio thing. Very curious for those.

taking the rhino out :s damn, i had so much fun in that i hope they dont take army and stuff like that out cuz personaly i thought that was the gta essence as such.

oh and another thing, a thought on the radio system , i was thinking wouldent it be cool if there was like a record store on the game that you could go into and it would bring songs that are online up and you could download them and listen to them, just a thought
